round up touch any reviews?

Hey there

What do you guys think of the round up touch? Has anyone used it?

Ive got loads of bindweed coming in from the garden next door, over the fence through the concrete everywhere Ive pulled it out but it just keeps coming back, has anyone used this on bindweed what do you think?

Also do you you think I could use it on the odd weed that pops though in the lawn as grass seed grows or will it kill off the stuff around it??

Thanks guys

    I've used the gel on dandelions in the lawn and it's fine - it works and doesn't affect the grass as long as you're careful and only put it on the weeds.

    I've killed  bindweed  with Roundup Spray - you need to put some canes in the garden and encourage the bindweed to grow up the canes.  Then mask off your plants with sheets of cardboard and spray the bindweed.  Leave the bindweed until it goes brown - that indicates that the active ingredient (glyphosate) has travelled back to the roots and killed them as well.  It sometimes works better if you bruise the leaves slightly before spraying.
